Group Visits

Let the train take the strain as you sit back, relax and
travel through the heart of the English countryside by steam train.

You can choose to start your journey from either Alton or Alresford.

There are four period stations along the line and your ticket
gives you unlimited day travel with the opportunity to hop on and off as you
wish at each station.

Pre-book something a little extra:

Choose one of six fascinating talks as part of
your group ticket, all topics are related to the Heritage Lottery Funded
Canadian Pacific Project

Enjoy a delicious lunch or traditional cream
tea available Tuesday – Thursday from May to September, subject to availability
and for a maximum of 60 people

Get your group chatting and sharing memories of
the days of steam travel with a Basket of Memories including photos, artefacts
and music from the 1940s – 1970s.

Take a Behind the Scenes Tour to see where the
locomotives and carriages are restored by taking a guided tour around the
engineering workshops with one of our knowledgeable volunteers

Group bookings can be made on running days throughout the
operating calendar with discounted fares for 15+ and 30+ available on standard
travel (non-event) days.

Free coach parking is available for coaches at Alresford
station if pre-arranged at the time of booking and coach drivers receive a free
tea or coffee in our West Country Buffet. For groups requiring disabled access
we recommend starting your journey at Alresford, full details can be seen on
ourDisabled Access page.

You may want to combine your visit with one of three nearby
attractions, Jane Austen’s House Museum, Basingstoke Canal or Milestones Museum.

Combined attraction bookings can all be made via the
Watercress Line for added ease. The railway has a specially adapted carriage for
up to six wheelchairs and ramps to aid boarding for the less mobile.
